Need for Speed is the latest attempt at adapting a video game for feature film audiences‚ a feat that has been attempted many times before to mostly disappointing results. Beyond that‚ though‚ Need for Speed is a rare entry in the car movie genre‚ which has been dominated for the last decade by The Fast and the Furious franchise. We wouldn’t say the two are direct competitors‚ as both deploy different approaches‚ but there is no question Need for Speed is going after a similar audience. Considering
